Being a stones throw from the old Tolly Brewery, people kept talking about the Cobnut they made. This is my attempt, although due to age related issues I’ve never had a chance to try the original!

Cask ar.Awaking Fest, Gosport. Aroma has a sour edge... that's it. Murky dark brown. Creamy beige head clings to the rim. Light-medium bitter. Sour berries. Malt and caramel. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. It's OK.
